Windows eXPerience Freestyle Update - Service Pack 1
Your way in Re-EXPERIENCING the Best of the Digital Age!
Mirror of Notes.rtf:
This document is here to discuss what is brand new on this and to point out issues that you should be aware off.
Please Read!
I can and will ignore you if you point out any issues that are listed, you should've read the issues before complaining. As it is my mod, I can do whatever I want with it. Meaning I do not have to add/change anything you suggest.
Please note that the program WindHawk is installed by default. It is required for proper functionality for the mod. If you want to add a new WindHawk mod, it is required to re-install the program.

What's New?
⦁ Inactive Caption Text now uses the correct color for the corresponding.
⦁ Caption Icon now shows their proper 16x16 icon, instead of a 32x32 icon downscaled.
⦁ Command Prompt & PowerShell windows uses Classic Theme.
⦁ Start Buttons no longer have fade transition and are accurate to Windows XP.
⦁ Mozilla Firefox is now upgraded to 113 now featuring a Internet Explorer 6 styled about box. (Mozilla Firefox updates are disabled.)
⦁ Many visual style changes all across the board for a more accurate feeling to Windows XP.
⦁ ClearType now applies to the taskbar and other elements.
⦁ ClassicLogonShell is now uninstalled by default, as it did more harm than good.
⦁ More Icon & Dialog changes, for an even more accurate experience.
⦁ Windows XP sounds should be the default Sound Scheme.
⦁ Logging Off/On sounds should be present.
⦁ Desktop Icons now uses Classic Theme selectors.
⦁ Caption Icon now shows their proper 16x16 icon, instead of a 32x32 icon downscaled.

Issues
⦁ 32-bit programs still show a 32x32 icon downscaled on the caption.
⦁ Some online games with an anti-cheat may not work with the mod.
⦁ Changing from Luna to any other theme may cause the screen to be black and kick the user out of the desktop. Go through the process of changing themes and it will apply. This also fixes broken WindowMetrics from the aftermath.
⦁ The program that is used to force the Basic (Non-DWM) Window Borders is broken when installing this mod with any language but en-US.
⦁ The Appearance tab on Display Properties crashes the applet, use "Change Luna Theme" on the Control Panel to change themes.
⦁ Some programs might show the wrong Caption Text color.
⦁ Dialogs, Strings, and Menus will be unmodified if you use any language other than en-US.
⦁ Any DPI above 100% will be broken. This mod is incompatible with ANY type of DPI scaling.
⦁ File Explorer's toolbars may look messed up when it's opened when it's maximized by default.
⦁ Tray area of the taskbar will be broken when showing all tray icons.
⦁ Volume system tray may not change the volume. This depends on your sound configuration and the Sound Devices.
⦁ Some of the menus on File Explorer will not work (ex. "Favorites", "Help"). These are only here for the sake of accuracy and being faithful to Windows XP.
⦁ On-Screen Keyboard will show a QWERTY + CJK layout.
⦁ Internet & E-mail may look wrong on Royale/Royale Noir & Zune/Embedded, this can be fixed by adding one blank character when renaming each of them.
⦁ All themes other than Luna have incorrect DWM Window Frames. This will be noticable when a program is not responsing, running a program as SYSTEM or TrustedInstaller, and the small delay forcing the Non-DWM (Basic) Window Frames.
⦁ Windows Messenger does not work. This is due to Microsoft shutting down the servers. If you feel so in using it, look for trusted services that hosts servers for MSN/Windows Live Messenger. I personally recommend in using Escargot (https://escargot.chat/). Though be cautious on using these outdated services, even if they're secure

Hi!
I was wanting to know, if you're able to explain...
How did you manage to extract the theme assets to apply them in the way you did, using that script ... to change the Luna theme.
Because I'm curious to know if such a script can be used to apply other custom themes that were made for XP back then.
Open-sourcing that script may very well bring a new light to customizing Windows 10 to be like the old days of 2002 to 2009.
Maybe you could even release the script itself and documentation along with it on GitHub.
Again, up to you.
Thank you for your time.

Travis doesn't have to listen to any of us because this mod is free. He is not dependent on us, since, again, he doesn't gain anything from this mod, ergo,
...
doesn't have a monetary incentive to satisfy us.
I'm wholeheartedly convinced he made this mod for his own amusement and decided to share it with us on a whim.
We are not customers, we don't pay him and he doesn't owe us anything.

Your comment doesn't seem to reflect the situation of modders and is more similar to buffalo dung.

Hey, dipshit. We're the ones who use the mod. Sure, you're the one making it, but >we< are the ones using it. Without a userbase, your shit is nothing.
...
Maybe you should actually listen to what the userbase (the ones that actually make your shit any worth it) says, instead of acting all mighty and cocky about your oh so superior position? Blow me, long and hard, Travis.

Is it safe to update? I don't wanna break the Windows XP theme, because that would ruin the point of the whole thing.

Subject: Great but...
it's cool, very similar. There are a few details missing but not much.
I installed on a computer, and everything works except one thing: the tuchpad, so ... I have to use a mouse. The fact that the system is directly called Windows XP 64bit software to update drivers and search for them believe in Windows XP. If not to the manual search for drivers the installation remains a success, but it still does not work.
The Chess profile picture could be in hd, I found it on the internet in better quality.
